I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing. It can be frustrating when things don’t work as expected.
Let’s try to solve this together.
To create a dump of your database in PostgreSQL, you should use the pg_dump command. This command will
create a backup file that contains SQL commands that can be used to restore the database. Here’s how you can use
it:
pg_dump -U your_username -W -F t your_database_name > your_database_name.tar
Replace your_username with your actual username and your_database_name with the name of the database you
want to backup. This command will prompt you for your password and then create a tar file
(your_database_name.tar) with the dump of your database.
To restore your database from the dump file, you can use the pg_restore command:
pg_restore -U your_username -d your_database_name -1 your_database_name.tar
Again, replace your_username and your_database_name with your actual username and database name.
Remember, both pg_dump and pg_restore commands need to be run from the command line, not from within the
psql interface.
Please give this a try and let me know if it helps. If you’re still having trouble, I’m here to assist you further. Don’t
worry, we’ll get this sorted out! 😊
